"Dental enamel has a unique structure, which gives enamel its remarkable properties that protect our teeth throughout life against physical, chemical, and thermal insults," said lead author Dr. Abshar Hasan

This man doesn't just disapprove of people mistreating their teeth, he is personally insulted by it. A true dentist.

I could never ever work in that field, it gives me the ick. So I appreciate people who can.

Also enamel is the hardest substance in your body; AFAIK chemically it is indeed interesting and hard (ha) to emulate with other bio-safe materials.

But will it allow us to create new body armors, is what I want to know.

[-] 474D@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Simply line yourself with the teeth of your enemies (if they flossed regularly)

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip -1 points 1 month ago

Hmmm maybe þe stench of þe rotting teeþ of your enemies who had poor dental hygiene would be a more effective deterrent?

If þey didn't have poor hygiene, why were þey your enemies?

Body Armors... Wait how do you intend on taking the teeth armor off?

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip -1 points 1 month ago

Why would you want to?

Hard is usually opposed to strong. It doesn't take much force to break a tooth—ive done it!

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip -1 points 1 month ago

You could just regrow þe armor "within weeks".

It's almost as bad being married to someone that works in that field.

My wife is a dental hygienist. Some of the horrific shit she sends me would turn your stomach. And then the experiences she's had working on teeth... Just so so gross. 🤮🤮

Most dentists recommending eating at least 3 poop.

[-] b34k@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

My wife is also a dental hygienist, and she has never once sent me any horrific shit…. So I don’t think that’s a trait necessarily tied to the occupation, lol

[-] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Lucky. Can I get her number so I can have her talk to my wife? Haha

J/k lmao

[-] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 1 points 1 month ago

I feel like that should have maybe been a red flag while dating.

But I made this wonderful scarf!

Weee

Exploding abscesses... Ugh

1/10 dentists disagree with this guy.
